As far as we can tell, nothing has been confirmed yet, so do take this with a grain of salt.
It’s okay to get a little hyped, though.
If this does pan out, this is great news for the Fire. Grabbing another national broadcast will be a nice revenue boost for the club, regardless of how the score shakes out.
It’s also great news for Cincinnati, who would have a golden opportunity to introduce themselves to a national audience. For a team with MLS ambitions, that’s no small thing.
But it’s also great news for the US Open Cup.
